More Mail Goodies!

In today's mail were two parcels!

The first box contained more vehicles for my Canadian Battle Group. I should have taken a pic of the packing job. They were packed tight in a custom made box of polystyrene sheeting and sealed in a couple of layers of fairly heavy duty packing tape. Each box was filled with more polystyrene to stop parts from shaking. I saw these for pretty decent prices on eBay. They are Trumpeter 1/72nd scale kits of the LAV-R and LAV-C2, which when buried in enough stowage will pass for Bison APCs and the Husky Recovery/Engineering vehicle.


A preliminary inspection makes me hope that these will be easier/faster to build than the Dragon Models Leopard 2 which I am working on while watching Netflix.

The second parcel was from Museum Miniatures and contained the B Echelon for my Samurai. One pack of 28/SAM07 Ashigaru carrying supplies and two packs of 28/SAM14 Pack horse with retainer.


So I've got two pack horses, one with boxes of tea and/or ammunition and the other with rice bales, each with an Ashigaru holding a spear and with balls of rice draped around his shoulders. Plus another 5 Ashigaru carrying boxes of ammunition and supplies. There is a nice bit of variety in the heads. Once I add in the 3 peasants carrying loads, I'll have a nice little supply train to protect from Mikey's rampaging Monks.
